The Latest News:

Did you know that according to a 2009 Gallup Poll 76% of American households own pets? And according to one question on “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire,” 64% of pet owners consider themselves to be “Mom” or “Dad” to their pets.

If you are one of those pet people, planning your vacation can be very stressful. If your pets can’t go with you, what do you do? Enter the Professional Petsitter. Petsitting is an alternative to boarding your dog or cat when you are on vacation. Rather than you taking your pet to them, they come to your pet.
